Motorcycling is a fantastic pastime enjoyed by many of us here in Oklahoma. Unfortunately, riders don't have the same safety features that passenger car occupants enjoy, leading to an increased risk of getting hurt badly in a crash. More than 1,231 motorcycle accidents were reported in Oklahoma in 2020. At least 661 people were hurt and 62 died in these accidents. A lot of motorcycle crashes end in death or serious injury, and riders are almost 26 times more likely to be killed in an accident. To protect your legal rights after a fatal accident, you need to work with a skilled legal team to pursue a strong claim for recovery.
